Blue Bird in Our Yard

 

This guy spent several weeks knocking into my kitchen window until we put the screen in it. Then the bird proceeded to build a nest right by the kitchen window in the spouting. A rubber snake didn’t scare it so the nest is there. The bird thought I wasn’t looking when I took this picture. It was sitting on top of the bell in our yard waiting for me to leave so it could put another straw in the nest. The picture is an 11 x 14 watercolor. It is SOLD.
